Y. M. C. A. Directors Act.

The boar3 of directors of the Young Men's Christian Association took action on the death of Dr. Cuyler ana passea iue following resolutions: Whereas. In the providence of God, the Rev. Theodore Ledyara uuyier, u.u., LL.D., for nearly fifty years identified with the work of the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association, passed away on February 26, 1909; Resolved. That in his death the young men and the Brooklyn Association have lost one of their most influential and best loved- friends.

He ever sought the highest welfare of young men and frequently said it was "a blessed thing to work for them," and believing as he did that the association had been providentially raised up to promote their moral and spiritual condition, he freely gave of his time, energy and means to advance Its interests. He said, "The association lies very near my heart," and added, "Among the great spiritual agencies within my memory none deserves a higher place thanjthe Young Men's Christian It is a favorite object upon which to bestow my humble efforts. Here In Brooklyn -a host of young men have found a moral shelter and many of them a spiritual birthplace In the association's fine structure. It has brought thousands of young men from Impenitence to Jesus Christ, and made thousands of young Christians more like Jesus in their dally life. The most effective lay preacher of the country, D.

L. Moody, confessed that in his training for spiritual work he owed more to the Association than to any other human agency. It has molded the students of colleges and universities; It has been the salvation of many a soldier and sailor; it has led many Into the gospel ministry; it has taught the world the heautv and Dower of a living unity In Jesus Christ.

Fales. Secretary. PAYS FOR BABE'S ARMS Richmond Light and Railroad Co. Settles for $18,000 Out of Court. $2,000 IS FOR THE FATHER.

Little Home on Roger Avenue Made Happy Child 30 Months Old When Accident Happened. When the word "settled" waa spoken in Part I of the Supreme this morning, on the call of the calendar by Justice Kelly, and in response to his query as to what shape the suit of Clark against the Richmond Light and Railroad Company had reached, there was ended one of the most sensational and interesting actions for damages for personal injuries ever on trial in this county. The result should make happy a little home at 819 Rogers avenue, in this borough, for there lives a little lad Johnnie Clark, son of Patrick Clark, who will have to go through life with but two stumps In the place of arms and hands. When he was but a baby, both of bis arms were cut oil by a sprinkler car belonging to the defendant corporation. By the settlement made to-day, If the court assents to it.

he gets 116,000 and bis father $2,000 from the company. On September 10, 1906. little Johnnie, then 2Vi years, was living with his parents and brothers and sisters in New Brighton, S. I. With an elder brother in charge, Johnnie was playing In front of his home.

Through the street runs the line of the Richmond Llghfand Railroad Company. Johnnie toddled out into the street Just as a sprinkling car of the company dashed along. The child was struck somehow and both his arms taken off above the elbows. Suit was begun in Richmond County by tho law firm of Magner Carew of 190 Montague street, for $50,000 for Injuries received by the lad. The firm of Ryan Inness were the attorneys of record.

The case was tried in the October term, 1907, In Richmond County, before Justice Garretson, but there was a disagreement. Afterward the suit was moved to this county, the Clark family having moved to Brooklyn. For the attorneys of record for the railroad company was substituted the firm of Dykman, Oeland Kuhn of 189 Montague street, and the case has been progressing along the calendar until It was almost ready for trial. This morning It was so near the top of the calendar that it would have been sent out for trial, but, on the call of the calendar, it was announced that the suit had been settled. Both the lawyers for the defense and for the plaintiff later verified the fact of the settlement later on.

I Ex-Representative Magner and his partner, Lawyer Carew, this morning said that an application would be at once made to the special term of the Supreme Court for permission to accept the settlement offered by the railroad. The basis of the settlement, it was stated. was $18,000 for the lad, who Is now about 5 years old. and $2,000 for his father. If the settlement is consented to by the Supreme Court, the $16,000 will be invested for the lad at 6 per which will give the lad an Income of over $900 a year.

This, It is stated, will be so conserved, that by the time Johnnie is 14 years of age he should have over $20,000 with which to start his education. One curious feature of the case is that both firms of attorneys, the one for the lad and the other for the railroad company, are elated with the settlement, believing that It was the best possible thing to be done under the circumstances.

IN THE COLONEL'S AUTO But It Is Said Kopp Consented to Make Trip to the 47th Regt. Armory. HAD GRIP INSPECTION NIGHT. I Coercion Hinted by Family Lieuten ant Rodd a Pallbearer Views of Captain Klemyer. Against the over-zealousness of Frederick Kopp of 310 Linden street, or of some of his comrades In Company Forty-seventh Regiment, on -the night of the annual inspection and muster, Febru ary 10, Is now placed the responsibility members of the company who had failed to put In an appearance early in the evening.

Among these four, who were termed delinquents, was young Kopp. After scurrying around town In search of three of these. Sergeant Mack and his squad gave up the search and set out to find the fourth man, who happened to be Kopp. Tfiey repaired to JiIb home, at 310 Linden street, rang the bell and were met at the door by Mrs. Kopp, the young man's mother.

They asked If her son was at home, and she replied that he was, being at the time 111 in bed with a severe attack of the grip. But Mack and his comrades. It Is alleged, were not satisfied with this statement. In fact. It was confessed by Captain Klemyer In a talk with an Eagle reporter this morning that he had received a post card from the young man's parents in which he was notified that their son was sick and would be unable to attend the Inspection.

But according to the captain these post card excuses are always investigated, for his seven years experience as a company com mander has led him to become uniformly skeptical of such excuses. Guardsmen have often advanced reasons why they could not attend annual inspections that have not been considered valid by their immediate commanding officers. Captain Klemyer said that. It thir- ougbly understood by hiB men that any vuuiu noi present a valid excuse for ouaeuce irom annual inspections and musters would be returned to the rea-l- mental dellnquincy court and fined or dis- uuuuraDiy discharged. He added, however, that there was no implied threat in his statements that absentees would be summarily dealt with in everw in.

stance. What he considered to be a valid wouia always be accepted, and the one presenting It always exempted from the consequences. Be that as It mar. Mack nnA His iuuob orougnt young Kopp to the armory, at the corner of Marcy avenue and Hey-ward street.in the closed limousine of Colonel Henry C. Barthman, who.

had placed his machine at the disposal of the company commanders for the sneclflc n.im of bringing in delinquents to the armory mustering and inspecting officers retired. But Kopp was brought in too late. The mustering officers had closed their records and were preparing to leave the armory. They refused to credit hn ence of Kbpp to the company so that all of Kopp'B fortitude, if he willingly accompanied his comrades to the armory, or all of his comrade's sealousness In working for the honer of their company proved to be vain. Kopp was marked absent with the three-others who could not be located and brought to the armory Kopp was taken home as he had been brought, wrapped up in blankets In Colonel Barthman'a automobile.

He was put to bed again by his parents and died two days later. Dr. Charles Trost of 189 Stanhope street, tho attending physician gave out the statement to the press yesterday that his patient had died from pneumonia contracted on the ride to and from tho armory in. Colonel Barthman's auto. Dr Trost joins with the deceased guardsman parents In asserting that young Kopp was taken to the armory forcibly by Mack and his colleagues.

The latter, however, insist that Kopp was anxious to make the trip, and Captain Klemyer said that when he told Kopp that he should not have come out in his sick condition, the latter replied that he had come because he knew it to be his duty to be present and that he had. therefore, come despite his indisposition. "There was no intimation on Kopp's part that he had been brought to the armory against his will," said Captain Klemyer, "and up to yesterday I had heard no criticism from his parents or his friends in which It was charged that the company was to blame for his death. I do not know who started all this talk at this late date. However, I shall thoroughly probe the charges that have been made and endeavor to ascertain the facts In the case.

I have called a meeting for to-night and shall consult with the young man's parents this afternoon. At the time of Kopp's death there was no Intimation that his parents blamed us. We did know, though, that his mother had objected to his coming to the armory on the night of the Inspection, but we understood that Kono himself had decided to make the Journey despite inese oojscuons. The boy father seemed pleased that a number of our men attended his son's funeral. He consented to Lieutenant Edgar R.

Rodd's actio as one of the pallbearers." Colonel Henry C. Barthman of the Forty-seventh Regiment, in speaking of tne practice or sending out squads and carriages for absentees, said: "It is entirely legitimate. There are many members of the guard who seem to have no sense of their responsibility as units in th? state service or of the obligations they assumed when they enlisted. It is part of the discipline of any military organization to cause delinquents to realize their responsibility and obligations by inflicting punishment. Every organization has a general delinquency court that does nothing but listen to canes in which soldiers have been accused of violating the rules of discipline.

"It is entirely legitimate at annual inspections and musters to round up delinquents and compel them to be Present. If thry are physically able to be present. We have found that many that are advanced by would-be delinquents are fictitious, so that now every officer Is disposed to Investigate them for himself. Many times in the past bogus doctor's certificates have been presented, and I think Captain Klemyer was entirely justified in Investigating that of Dr. Trost.

That some one was over zealous cannot be denied, and the unfortunate death of Kopp is to be regretted." At the annual Inspection and muster of tho Forty-seventh Regiment all but twenty men were present. The total strength of the regiment on inspection night was 702, so that the percentage of attendance was 97.42. These Inspections are prescribed In the military regulations of the state. Officers from the stall of Major General Charles F. Roe are detailed to act as inspecting and mustering officers, and a regular army officer Is detailed to represent the War Department.

He advised against the practice of investigating the administration of public officials on heresay evidence. He said that It has been said that the people get as good a government as tbey deserve, and that in Queens County the people don't seem to want any better government. BAKTENDEB A STJIClDE.

Judge Fawcett scathingly denounced the sort of crime that Kessler admitted he and told the young man that his excuse of poverty was not good, for there existed lots of institutions among his people for the alleviation of distress.

Esther Kessler, the wife of Kessler, and jointly Indicted with him, had sentence suspended In her case. A high tribute was paid' the fire marshal's bureau by Judge Fawcett for Its work of ferreting out crimes of incen-dlarlsm. The sentence of Kessler was imposed this morning in the Coupty Court by Judge Fawcett among others given for conviction of various crimes. The husband and wife were brought in before the bar together. To them Judge Fawcett said: "You both stand before this court ad judged guilty of having set your apart ments at 62 Stagg street on Are, on tne evening of October 9 last.

There were sixty-three children residing in that house at the time of your malicious act. Especial praise is due Fire Marshal Will- lam L. Beers and his deputy, William R. Ferris, for the splendid service in this case. Your apprehension and conviction are due to their untiring efforts.

Commendation Is due the Are marshal's bureau for the excellence of the work done In ferreting out persons guilty of arson and bringing them to the bar of justice. In passing, it is fitting to observe that the fire marshal's staff has caused sixty-five arrests and secured twenty-eight convic tions for incendiary fires during the past year. After an investigation of the facts and circumstances of this case I am convinced that whatever part you, Mrs. Kessler, took in the crime, was due to your fear of threats by your husband, and In the light of your having already spent five months In jail and of your young children needing your care and guidance I am going to offer you the encouragement of immunity, with the hope and belief that you will never violate the law again. "Now, Harry Kessler, the disposition or your case nas canea 10 my consiaera-tlon a review of your past life, your standing in the community and the motive which you assigned for the commission of this fearful crime.

Out of your Hps comes your excuse for perpetrating this criminal act of wanton disregard for life and property. You say that dire poverty, distress and eviction drove you to set your home on fire in order to collect the $500 of fire insurance you had on your household effects. It Is to be regretted that you did not turn for assistance to some of your many friends, who have come to me Beeking clemency In your behalf. Aside from them, there nre a count less number of worthy Hebrew charitable societies that- would gladly have freely and generously given you the help you needed. "There are no more generous and liberal a class of people anywhere than these of your race and faith.

They are both charitable and hospitable. Even now, after you have brought a stigma upon the fair name of your good people, I am assured that a well-known Hebrew charitable organization Btands ready to provide and care for your wife and children until your release from prison. Tho enormity of your offenses may be gathered from the fact that had not tho all-wise Providence brought about the early discovery and extinguishment the fire you willfully and maliciously set, you might have been responsible for the loss of many lives and the destruction of much property. "Crimes of this serious character must be severely dealt with. The sentence imposed on you expresses my feelings toward firebugs.

You will go to Sing Sing prison for not more than fourteen years and six months and not less than eight years." DIPHTHERIA AT THE OAKES. Caretaker's 13-Year-Old Son a Victim.

At the services in Cuyler Presbyterian Church, Pacific street, near Hoyt, yesterday, a tribute of love and respect was paid to the late Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, who founded the church and from whom it takes Its name. Dr.

Cuyler started the organization twenty-four years ago as a mission Sunday school In lower Atlantic avenue, and until three years ago it was known as the Cuyler Chapel branch of the Lafayette Avenuo Church. At the morning service yesterday the pastor, the Rev. Lynn P. Armstrong, said: "I am using the pulpit which Dr. Cuyler used for thirty years.

He was a wonderful man, a thoroughly consecrated man, a practical man, he stood in one position when he thought a cause was right and Just, and was immovable. He was a well balanced man, with a heart full of good cheer and an Intense love for young people. He was not a politician, but when I spent an hour with him in his study, a short time ago, I was amazed at the manner In which he kept track ot the bills before the Legislature in Albany. His mind was clear and sharp to the last. To Bhow his love for this young church which bears his name, almost tho last time he spoke from this pulpit he said: 'When I reach the New Jerusalem, I want to look out of the windows of heaven and one of the first places I shall look for is Cuyler A new edifice may be erected to perpetuate his memory, but the way our beloved Dr.

Cuyler would like us to remember him is to be faithful to the work we have undertaken and to live lives of devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ." At the Sunday school, in the sfternoon, the superintendent, Herbert K. Twitchell, an elder of Lafayette Avenue Church, spoke with much feeling of -the life of Dr. Cuyler. The children of the school bad learned to love the venerable man. On Children's Day, each year, the school marched In a body to the doctor's residence, carrying flowers for him, and sang his favorite hymns in front of his house, to the mutual delight of Dr.

Cuyler and the Sunday school pupils. Th'. officers of Cuyler Church marched in a body behind the officers of Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church in the fu-ners)! procession from Dr. Cuyler's late home to the church this afternoon to attend the funeral services.
